Title 13. Sentencing Enhancements

(13)00. Exception

• Penal code entries, by default, may be modified by Sentencing Enhancements within Title 13. However, should a penal code entry be the exception to a Sentencing Enhancement or contain an exception within its description, then that exception shall be followed instead of the Sentencing Enhancement policy.

• For example, (1)08. Murder cannot be charged for an attempt as an entire charge, (1)06. Attempted Murder, exists for that purpose.

• Penalties are, as stated, stackable for each occurrence. Committing assault against someone multiple times is worthy of a charge for each time, as long as they are separate police incidents, occur at different time, occur to different people, or are charged for each prohibited object that is possessed. Charges can also be stacked for each person they are committed against. Unless an exception exists explicitly.

• Each stacked charge equals the additional punishment time for that charge. A person who commits two counts of assault will be charged twice the amount of time, so long as it does not violate maximum imprisonment policies.

(13)01. Attempt

• A person who attempts to commit any crime, but fails or is prevented or intercepted in its perpetration, shall be given the same punishment as if the offense was committed.

(13)02. Conspiracy

• If two or more persons conspire to commit any crime, to falsely and maliciously to indict another for any crime, or to procure another to be charged or arrested for any crime, they shall be punished by the same punishment as if the offense was committed.

(13)03. Soliciting

• A person who solicits for the commission or perpetration of any crime shall be punished by the same punishment as if the offense was committed.

(13)04. Weapons Violation

• A person who commits a felony while in possession of a firearm shall have their firearms permit revoked.

• A person who demonstrates illegal or irresponsible usage of their firearm shall be suspect to firearms permit suspension or revocation depending on the penal code entry of the firearms violation. If no description exists, it shall be up to officer discretion.

• If a person receives two suspensions of their firearms permit they shall have their permit revoked immediately upon the second incident.

• These violation policies also apply, where appropriate, to licenses and permits issued to facilities and organizations.

• These policies also apply to any current and future firearms permits created for purposes determined by the agency responsible for firearms regulation.

(13)05. Criminal Accomplice Clause

• A person who acts as an accomplice, aid, adviser, or other supportive role to another person's attempted or successful criminal acts shall receive HALF the punishment allotted to the person who attempted or successful criminal acts.

(13)06. Accessory After the Fact

• A person who knowingly and willingly helps another person who had successfully committed a criminal act shall receive HALF the punishment issued to the person who committed the criminal act.

• Examples include harboring a fugitive, helping destroy or distort evidence, withholding information relating to a crime or assisting the person elude or avoid police custody
